Samsung Steps Up Mobile Browser Game

Samsung is taking their mobile security seriously and have upped their game when it comes to security. Not only have they stepped up their basic security on "Samsung Internet", they have also added a built-in ad-tracking blocker. This is a nice feature in some ways, but then again you won't get "targeted" ads on a website, you'll get random ads. I'm not sure which is more irritating.

The browser’s new extension blocks invisible trackers, allowing you to browse privately. You can toggle on the tracking blocker, or if you’re in Secret Mode, the blocker will already be enabled by default. The extension is powered by Disconnect, a privacy protection company, which already makes a similar ad-blocking extension for Samsung Internet.
